Took a look at the picture and thought: thats gonna be expensive. Opened link… Wow… Not as bad as I thought.

since when is $700 not expensive? I know that’s not $2000 expensive…but $700 isn’t chump change for anyone.

Just saw Zeos review. look really good. Has a FPGA in it. 640$. Zoes says he thought it was 1400$. Compares it to the Topping DX7. Sounds like he thinks its better. very interesting:

I’m just wondering how it compares to the CMA400i… Since I’m currently looking at getting that. And the DAART isn’t available in Europe, but it might be worth importing if it compares quite well.
